【题目】Maria Keller — Teenager Wants Every Kid to Read Indeed!
Books have huge power. Between their pages, readers can be transported to
anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone…or anything. Unluckily, many
children all over the world don’t have chances to read books!
For several years now, Maria Keller, a teenager from America, has been changing
that fact.
When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that
some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother
why that could be, her mother said that they might have no money to buy books. Maria
had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have
bedtime stories read to them. She decided to change this.
With her mother’s help, Maria set up Read Indeed. Read Indeed is a non-profit (非
营利的) organization that is to collect and share books to children in need. During the
early stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and share 1 million books by
the time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal!
So far, she has collected over 2.4 million books and has sent them to many states
and countries like India, China…She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue
my task, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books are in the hundreds
of millions. So I just can’t give up, even after reaching my goal of 1 million books.”
She recently set a new goal: to give donations (捐赠) to kids in need in every state
in the United States, and every country in the world. She always pays attention to her
progress on a large map at the warehouse (仓库) where they store and sort books.
【1】Where does Maria Keller come from?
A. America. B. India. C. China. D. The UK.
【2】With her mother’s help, Maria set up _____ to collect and share books.
A. a bookstore B. a school C. a warehouse D. an organization

【题目】Every year on 15th October, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day. But why do we have a day for something we do all the time? Well, research shows that not enough people often wash their hands with soap. Experts believe that this leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.
Sidibe, a public health expert says soap is the most beautiful invention in public health'. Washing your hands with soap can have a huge impact on reducing (减少) the spread of diseases. Handwashing with soap prevents babies from getting ill and keeps children healthy and in school.
However, washing hands with soap does not happen as often as you might think. This is partly because there aren't enough resources (资源) in poorer countries, but it's also because for many people, handwashing is simply not part of their everyday life. It's not easy to get people to change habits they learned in early childhood -- but this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.
In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote (促进) the first ever Global Handwashing Day. Every year since then, many different events have been held around the world. In 2014. Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola, a very serious disease, with events held in affected (受感染的) African countries.
Today, local and national leaders continue to use the day to spread the message about the importance of clean hands. The hope is that handwashing becomes a necessary part of people's lives and improves the health of millions around the world.
【1】Who started Global Handwashing Day?
A. Public health experts.
B. The Indians.
C. African schoolchildren.
D. Government leaders.
【2】What does the underlined word "impact" mean?
A. Danger.
B. Influence.
C. Background.
D. Problem.
【3】What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Washing hands with soap is good for public health.
B. Washing hands with soap doesn't become part of people's lives.
C. People are holding many different events to fight against diseases.
D. People all over the world are encouraged to wash hands with soap.
